Hello!
It is with sadness that I write to inform you that I will no longer be blogging again until this time next year. My husband and I have truly had a blessing come our way: we are pregnant again with our second child! It was a complete surprise! If you have been following... [More]

I hope you all had a nice and enjoyable Christmas! I wasn't feeling that well but it was still a great time spent with our family. Our festivities started Friday and haven't stopped yet. We celebrate until tomorrow night - needless to say, we're exhausted! How did you do with... [More]

I apologize for being so sick the past several days. Whenever I have the flu it takes me a while to recooperate. This morning I went to church with my Mom and then we went out to lunch. It is just in the past week or so that my son has begun throwing tantrums - I mean the kind... [More]

Wintertime is the worst for packing on the winter weight. My husband would be the first one to tell you this. I don't know what it is about the cold weather but it increases the amount of sweets he eats and the exercise begins to decrease. He renewed his Jenny membership for this v... [More]
